From Sony
The Sony MDR-M1 is a professional closed-back reference headphone engineered for today’s creators, producers, and mixing engineers who demand accurate monitoring with exceptional isolation and comfort. Designed as Sony’s next-generation studio monitor headphone, the MDR-M1 combines ultra-wideband playback, precise spatial imaging, and a highly controlled acoustic design to deliver detailed, reliable sound across a wide range of production environments.
